Lekker rustig & veilig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Bougain Villa Gastehuis. Dis so rustig en die toe stoep was baie lekker snoesig vir die koue. Baie dankie.

Ons was oppad na die Noord Kaap en het by Winburg oorgeslaap.

Cindy het alles in haar vermoë gedoen om ons te akkommodeer, was gasvry en ontsettend behulpsaam. Ons wou vroeg vertrek en was voorsien van heerlike ontbytpakkies om saam te neem.

Aangenaam op 'n baie koue nag in die Vrystaat.

Dit was aangenaam gewees. Ek sou van 'n digter gordyn gehou het, maar my vrou was bly dat die kamer nie so donker was nie. Hulle was baie akkommoderend gewees.

A short overnight stop on a long trip, perfect for that.

Don't be put off by the condition of the old town of Winburg, which is sad to see. The guesthouse itself is secure and well run. Only thing to be aware of is that there are no functioning restaurants anymore in Winburg for supper. There are two takeaways but we didn't use them so can't comment.

Ons het goed gebly. Was baie goed ontvang en plek is baie netjies.

Die feit dat Winburg 'n klein, baie stil dorpie is, is definitief 'n negatief vir die gastehuis.

Winburg is 'n "dooie" dorp.

Ons eerste stop van ons reis. Dame het ons parkeerplek uitgewys, dit was nie naby ons kamer nie. Daarna het sy ons na ons kamer geneem wat ruim en netjies was met slegs 'n bad. Die kamer was egter op die eerste vloer van 'n baie ou gebou en die trappe was so nou dat slegs helfte van my voet daarop gepas het. My vrou en ek, albei 78 jaar oud, moes toe daai trappe opworstel om by die kamer in te kom. Ons het daar begin dink dat ons dalk nie die reis moes aanpak nie.

Winburg is a "dead" town.

Our first stop of our trip. Lady pointed out our parking space, it was not near our room. After that she took us to our room which was spacious and tidy with only a bath. However, the room was on the first floor of a very old building and the stairs were so narrow that only half of my foot fit up them. My wife and I, both 78 years old, then had to struggle up those stairs to get into the room. We started to think that maybe we shouldn't have made the trip.

Verrassend mooi, higienies skoon en ontspannende atmosfeer!

Winburg is 'n goeie oornag vir reisigers uit die Kaap op pad na die Noorde of vice versa. Die Bougain Villa Guesthouse is 'n pragtige historiese gebou en bied 'n veilige en vriendelike atmosfeer in 'n stil plattelandse omgewing.

Bougain Villa Guesthouse staff and family. All so totally efficient, competent, friendly. Wish we could stay longer. Almost all our friends asked where in the world is Winburg! In the Free State, and this guest house is super nice. And the staff family too - just about everything about it. So, guys, if you want to stop over like we did, stop here. We will hopefully be back!

Baie skoon en netjies met vriendelike personeel.

Ons het ons verblyf baie aangenaam gevind. Die dameskroeg wat op dieselfde perseel geleë was is voorwaar 'n wenner, veral as 'n mens etes ook nog daar kan bestel wat die personeel vir jou sal afhaal by die verskaffer. Die sekuriteitsparkering wat genoegsaam en onderdak. Ons het slegs 'n probleem met die werking van die TV gehad wat nie ernstig was nie aangesien ons redelik moeg was na die lang dag op die pad.

We found our accommodation very pleasant. The women's bar on the same premises is a winner, especially if one can order meals that the staff will pick up from the supplier. The security parking is adequate and sheltered. We only had a problem with the operation of the TV which was not serious as we were pretty tired after the long day on the road.

Ons het ná donker by Bougain Villa aangekom, is steeds vriendelik ontvang en die beste dubbelkamer aangebied wat beskikbaar was.

Winburg se ligging is goed as jy 'n oorslaapplek soek wat jou in staat stel om 'n goeie afstand van noord na suid (om omgekeerd) te ry voor nog 'n lang afstand die volgende dag. Die dorp bied die basiese dienste, maar die meeste sluit teen sononder. Die stormreën wat ons op pad daarheen getref het, het veroorsaak dat water gelek het in die dubbelkamer waar ons geslaap het, maar dit het nie noemenswaardige ongerief veroorsaak nie. Vir ons doel, nl. om oor te slaap ná 'n lang dag op pad, en voor ons weer vroegoggend die volgende dag in die pad val, was dit voldoende.

This review is being shown in its original language.

We arrived at Bougain Villa after dark, were still warmly received and offered the best double room available.

Winburg's location is good if you are looking for a stopover that allows you to drive a good distance from north to south (and vice versa) before another long distance the next day. The town offers the basic services, but most close at sunset. The torrential rain that hit us on the way there caused water to leak into the double room where we slept, but it did not cause any significant inconvenience. For our purpose, viz. to sleep over after a long day on the road, and before we hit the road again early in the morning the next day, it was sufficient.

Restaurant closed in 2018, but advertised as open when booking, only place to eat at Game Ranch outside of town.

Very disappointing, we booked this 1 night, overnight accommodation, as a resting place on a long journey especially as it was advertised with a restaurant, just to find upon arrival that it has been closed since 2018. We had to travel out of town to a Game Ranch to have a sit down dinner as it is the only place around other than takeaways. Had to go search for someone to book us in and although the rooms were fairly decent, the bathrooms had mould and the staff not too friendly. Will not use this establishment again.

Skoon, netjies, mooi, bekostigbaar en super vriendelike boere-gasvryheid.

Ek was stom geslaan en ek "rate" hierdie as een van die beste gastehuise wat ek nog by aangedoen het. Ek reis baie met motorfiets na klein plekkies toe en slaap oor. Winburg en die gastehuis neem nou my no. 1 plek in. Die eienaar en vroulief is absoluut teenwoordig en deel saam met die gaste in lekker gesels en kuier. Die gastehuis dateer uit die 18de eeu en is super mooi. Op die perseel is 'n mooi kroeg met buite kuier area, ek gaan beslis die somer weer 'n draai daar maak. Gaan besoek gerus die gastehuis, u gaan voorwaar verras word, en moenie Winburg miskyk nie, dis 'n pragtige skoon plek met baie geskiedenis. Dit was lekker om met jong boer seuns en boere asook inwoners van Winburg skouer te skuur en geskiedenis te deel. Ek gee die plek 10 sterre. Sien julle binnekort weer.

Clean, tidy, beautiful, affordable and super friendly farmers hospitality.

I was stunned and I rate this as one of the best guesthouses I've ever stayed at. I travel a lot by motorcycle to small places and sleep over. Winburg and the guesthouse now take the no. 1 spot. The owner and wife are absolutely present and have fun and chat with the guests. The guesthouse dates back to the 18th century and is beautiful. On the premises there is a nice pub with outdoor seating area, I will definitely visit again in the summer. Please visit the guesthouse, you will surely be surprised, and do not miss Winburg, it's a beautiful clean place with a lot of history. It was nice to brush shoulders with young farmer boys and farmers as well as Winburg residents and share history. I give the place 10 stars. See you soon again.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Ons is baie goed ontvang. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en het probeer om ons baie tuis te laat voel. Ons voel egter dat ons vooraf in kennis gestel moes word dat daar 'n probleem is met die krag en dat dit ook die beskikbaarheid van die watervoorsiening beïnvloed. Ons moes met houttrappe op gaan na ons kamer. Ons is bejaarde mense en het geen hulp met ons bagasie gekry nie. My vrou het baie gesukkel om met die trappe op te gaan. As gevolg van die krag was die kos ook nie goed voorberei nie. Ons blameer nie die personeel nie omdat dit waarskynlik omstandighede buite hulle beheer was, maar ons sal nie in die toekoms weer by dieselfde gastehuis oornag nie.

Not what we expected.

Great reception. The staff were so friendly and tried their best to make us feel at home. But we feel we they should have let us know beforehand that there is an issue with the electricity and that it has an effect on the water. We had to climb wooden stairs to get to our room. We are senior citizens and we didn't get any help with our luggage. My wife struggled to ascend the stairs. And because of the power issue the food wasn't ready. We don't blame the staff because the circumstances were not under their control, but in future we won't stay at the same guesthouse.

Goeie netjiese oornagverbyf met vriendelike personeel.

Die gastehuis is baie netjies en die personeel (selfs eienaar het ons ontvang) het uit hul pad gegaan om gasvry te wees. Net jammer dat die gastehuis met ontbyt (ingesluit) geadverteer word. Op pad na Winburg is ek meegedeel dat ontbyt slegs van 08h00 tot 10h00 bedien word. As oornag reisigers kan ons nie wag tot 08h00 vir ontbyt. Ons was die enigste gaste in die gastehuis (5 persone) en kon die eienaars gesorg het vir vroeë ontbyt. Hul het egter die vorige aand reeds ontbytpakkies aan ons gegee betaande uit bruin brood toebroodjie met frankfurter en yogurt. Ek glo regtig as ons net 5 persone is en ons oornag slegs kon ontbyt teen 06h00 voorsien word (ons het 06h30 gery). Ons het betaal vir die ontbyt soos geadverteer wetende dat ons dan nie op die pad ontbyt sou hoef te koop nie.

Good and neat overnight accommodation with friendly staff.

The guesthouse is very neat and the staff (the owner even received us) went out of their way to be hospitable. Just a pity that the guesthouse is advertised with breakfast (included). On our way to Windburg I was told that breakfast is only served from 08:00 to 10:00. As we were overnight guests we couldn't wait till 08:00 for breakfast. We were the only guests in the guesthouse (5 people) and the owners could have catered an early breakfast. They did give us breakfast packs the previous evening though, consisting of a brown bread sandwich with a frankfurter and yogurt. I really think that if we are only 5 people and only stayed overnight, they could have provided breakfast at 06:00 (we left at 06:30). We paid for the breakfast as advertised knowing that we wouldn't have to buy breakfast on the road then.

Bougain Villa Guesthouse 's response

Unfortunately breakfast has always been served from 08:00 to 10:00 at Bougain Villa Guesthouse.
We do offer a breakfast pack, if any of the guests are not able to attend breakfast by 08:00.

Akkommodasie op standaard alhoewel die kamer baie donker vertoon. Venster en genoeg lig sal 'n groot verbetering wees.

Oulike gasheer en baie goed geleë vir n "stop over" op pad Kaap toe. Sal beslis weer van die gastehuis gebruik maak.

Accommodation up to standard even though the room doesn't get enough sunlight. A window and enough light will be a huge improvement.

Very nice host and great location for a stopover on the way to the Cape. Will definitely book this place again.

Clean, handy location and wonderful food.

The young lady at reception was very friendly, and also when she personally served us a wonderful dinner at great value for money, and in a quaint, intimate, little restaurant. The room is dated but very clean with fresh white linen on the bed and loads of cupboard space. The bathroom was 5 star - classy. One small negative was that there was only 1 towel in the bathroom and one bar of soap which had been used by the previous occupants. However, on pointing this out to one of the maids working in the kitchen, there was nobody at reception at the time - the shortages were replenished. I am sure we will stay there again.

Not an experience I would wish to repeat.

We arrived on Sunday afternoon, rang the doorbell and no answer. We had to wait outside the place while we called the owner who in turn contacted someone on site to let us in. We were not welcomed and were requested to pay the balance owing before we were shown around. Our room had only one towel and was not made up for two people. Breakfast the following morning was cooked, no cereal or baked goods, no choice of how would you like your eggs done. Bacon was stone cold and fat congealed! Not at all recommendable!

Vriendelike diens en pragtige kamer.

Was verbaas om so 'n ou gerestoureerde huis te vind as jy binne gaan. Die kamers vergelyk met enige 4 ster hotel. Die kos was uitstekend.

Heerlike plattelandse gasvryheid.

Plek was skoon en netjies, die kamer is stylvol gemeubileer. Die gepaardgaande restaurant bied baie goeie waarde vir geld. Die spyskaart bied keuses vir almal se smaak. Jy kan nie 'n fout maak as jy hier wil oornag nie.

Pragtige ou huis en puik kliëntediens!

Die kamers se dekor is temaverwant en baie smaakvol. Die gastehuis is baie netjies, skoon en gerieflik en het 'n ouwêreldse gevoel. Dit sal help indien daar leeslampe is in die kamers met helder gloeilampe vir diegene wat nie TV kyk nie. Ons het vroegaand gearriveer na baie ure op die pad. Alhoewel die restaurant toe was (Maandae) het die personeel nie 'n oomblik geskroom om vir ons vanaf die spyskaart voor te berei nie. Om die waarheid te sê, hul het daarop aangedring. Ek moet spesiale melding maak van die sprankelende jong meisie wat vriendelikheid uitstraal ─ sy is 'n aanwins vir die gastehuis.

Beautiful old house and great customer service!

The rooms' decor is themed and very tasteful. The guest house is very neat, clean and comfortable and has an old world feel. It would help if there were reading lamps in the rooms with bright bulbs for those who don't watch TV. We arrived in the early evening after many hours on the road. Although the restaurant was closed (Mondays) the staff did not hesitate for a moment to prepare for us from the menu. In fact, they insisted on it. I have to make a special mention of the sparkling young girl who exudes friendliness ─ she is an asset to the guest house.

Good guesthouse with a skimpy breakfast.

Good guesthouse. clean and comfortable room. The optional evening dinner was very good and affordable. But the breakfast was skimpy with one fried egg, a sausage that wasn't good either, baked beans and one slice of bread. No options offered. Service was unfriendly without any words spoken. This downgraded my rating of Bougain Villa Guesthouse.

Baie netjies, die gasvrou en haar personeel was baie vriendelik en hulle doen moeite. Die gastehuis kry volpunte! Ons het die geriewe by die restaurant gebruik en lekker gekuier. Die kos was puik. Gaan beslis weer by Winburg kuier. Dankie dat ons daar kon oornag.
